SiLC Webinar – Maximising Natural Capital Benefits for Brownfield and Sustainable Development

Maximising Natural Capital Benefits for Brownfield and Sustainable Development is a webinar being held by SiLC on Wednesday 27th September 2023 from 11am – 1pm.

Can development only be a threat to soil quality and natural habitats? How do we reconcile the competing needs of nature versus man? Too long we have underestimated the value and importance that the natural environment contributes to our well-being.

By taking a ‘natural capital’ approach to decision making, development can maximise eco goods and services whereby we can get more from our land. From the simple concept of delivering the ‘right land use in the right place’ to the more complex considerations of achieving and maintaining biodiversity or environmental net gain post-development.

This CPD webinar will explore how government seeks to support the reframing of nature in terms of the value to people and the economy to create sustainable development. Attendees will hear, through case study examples, about how organisations are already implementing this approach and the resulting benefits achieved.

Presentations

What is Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) and how does it apply to brownfield and remediation sites?

Jon Davies, Nature Positive:

Recognising the potential biodiversity value of brownfield land

• The implications of site remediation and restoration for biodiversity and other environmental receptors

• Carbon off-setting, public green space, water protection and other natural capital benefits

• The brownfield balancing act – when to develop and when not to?

• Case studies for brownfield sites
